Hello All,
My daughter has had her Axolotl, Frilly, for 5 months. Recently he has been off his food (earth worms mainly) and so we thought we'd try some feeder fish.
I got home from work today to find twelve goldfish in with Frilly and most off his gills are almost completely gone!!
I've removed the fish and tried Frilly on some worms but, no luck, Frilly just turned his head away.
Is there a minimum gill requirement before it's all over or am I too late?
My daughter is only seven and is starting to panic that it might be too late.
Since joining this forum today i've learnt a great deal already but don't know if i'll be able to put this knowledge to use unless Frilly's health improves.
I've read about water test kits to check for correct levels but, don't have one as yet. I also read that gravel (that we've got) is not a great idea?
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in Advance,
Woz
